Not for me. I want to see them done by 50 goals. I want Sheedy and Allen to be laughed out of the game.

I wonder if GWS could take the mantle from Collingwood as most disliked club.....

I watched 186 live on Australia Network in Koh Samui. Was there over a month and there was football on every weekend. Most bars in tourist areas were showing AFL and NRL.

I watched some of the finals games live in Wuhan and Tianjin in China in September.

well your glass is half empty, mine is half full, a 4th game would be great (which i am sure you would agree!!)

And yes its on Fox, but if you can afford it and you love footy, then there is no reason you should not have it, its the future of sport on TV in Aus.

Thanks mate (and others)... though maybe I shouldn't watch the match from Koh Samui! We land there and hour before Round 1 - so it'll hopefully be televised somewhere that I can get to quickly.

Hoping for a non Saturday-arvo match Round 2. Reckon I'll get it from Phi Phi?

Thanks Rupert.

I serverely hope it isn't, even if all the signs are pointing toward that evil end.

As predicted, yet another NAB first round not in Melbourne for us. But we have been given a draw that we should (on 2011 form) get over the line with and that'll set up a likely early meeting with our old enemy. I can't even remember the last time we played them in the pre-season comp!

Well I hope we play GWS at the G. I wont boo Scully for the reason he took the money. I dont be grudge him for that, but I may boo because I still reckon he lied about when he made his mind up. Anyway by round 12 or 13 Scully's knee would have probably flared up again.

God I hope Geelong thrash GWS by more than what they thrashed us by or we will look stupid. Scully for a 2nd year can be part of another thrashing.

Anyway looking foward to the rest of the draw and how it pans out.

Whether we win, lose or draw the games in Qld - we will play Coll and Haw.

WE SHOULD get by in Round 1.

It would be a great start if we can be competitive against the "FILTH" in Round 2 and the "Head hunters" Round 3.

Both games at the "Graveyard"

We don't want any knee or ankle injuries.

Am pretty sure that 2011 was the end of the contract for Australia Network to broadcast AFL. i will try and find out if this is still the case. Watching AFL in Asia is always a blast so i do hope it continues.

Stoked with the draw of the NAB Cup. Being based in Qld, it gives me the opportunity to see a couple of "free" games that I wouldn't normally see, then our Vico firends get to see us against a couple of good sides, which non-Vico's get to see on Fox!

While I can appreciate the Vic-based supporters being a bit upset that we haven't played a first round (NAB) match for ages, it would give you a great opportunity to fly up to the Gold Coast for the weekend and spend the evening at Metricon. I think it's a great stadium to watch footy at, and the bonus is that if you park at Pacific Fair Shopping Centre and get the bus back, you are directly opposite Jupiters Casino, which on a Saturday night is well worth a look!!! :wub:

Very happy with the round one of NAB Cup. Aside from it being on my home turf, we are drawn against two teams we should beat and get our 2012 campaign off to a flying start... if it's true about landing the Pies in rd 2,well lets take em on... nothing to lose really except the NAB cup.

Queensland Demons will organise something - not sure it will be an official function, we will have to see what the AFL comes up with in the main draw however we can have all visitors and locals together to celebrate the start of a new season,.

As you are a Qld'er I feel we need to recruit you.. email me if you are interested in joining our group.

Herald Sun reckons we have Freo over there in the final round. AFL assuming we won't play finals so travel won't be an issue.

I won't be but they can always make it a friday night game it a miracle happens.

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere but it looks like our Darwin game will be in May - I'm thinking June/July would have been better but anyway...

Darwin gets AFL quartet

Much rather get it out of the way early in May. Weather might be a littel more lenient then. Certainly dont want it last round

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
